Miller, Planner Subject: Case #87-05 Minor subdivision at , 3280 Lake Johanna Boulevard n, plaza bldg" ste, 220 Applicant: Michael H. Hill 5217 wayzata blvd. Date: February 24, 1987 minneapolis, mn 55416 612 544 7576 The applicant is proposing to split 10 feet from the south edge of the vacant lot at the interesection of Lake Johanna Boulevard and Sandeen Road and convey that strip of land to the adjacent property owner. This will require approval of a lot split and consolidation. COMMENTS 1. The lot from which the 10-foot strip is to be split is triangular in shape, containing approximately 22,500 square feet. The adjacent lot is only 50 feet wide with an area of approximately 10,300 square feet. After the split and consolidation, the lots will have areas of 20,750 square feet and 12,050 square feet respectively. Both will exceed the 11,000-square-fobt minimum in the R-2 District. The south lot will remain below the 85-foot minimum width requirement, but will be improved by an additional ten feet. Based on the . City's topo maps of the area, it appears that a substandard setback for the house on the south lot will also be eliminated by the consolidation. (I have been unable to verify this with the applicant or City building records at this writing.) 2. The vacant lot whi ch wi 11 be reduced by the lot spl it rema i nS nearly double (189%) of the minimum lot size. Ana lys i s of the impact of setbacks on the lot indicates that the building envelope will accommodate a house of 30' X 80' or larger after the split without any setback variances. CONCLUSION The proposed lot split and consolidation improves the south lot without detriment to the north lot. Approval of the minor subdivision is ~recommended conditioned upon administrative review and approval of the deeds prior to recording with the County, . planning' landscape architecture
